E3 will be 'really exciting for fans of Epic' photo

Venture Beat recently cornered Epic Games' President Mike Capps, who revealed that the developer is not currently working on a new Unreal game. But that doesn't mean its sleeping on the job, either.

"We might have a new one coming," he says of an upcoming game reveal, "I think E3 is going to be really exciting for fans of Epic."

We already know that Epic is working with People Can Fly an Electronic Arts published shooter, which is set to ship early next year. The title is likely to get an E3 reveal, and has been hiding in development for awhile; during an Unreal Tournament III press demo tour, Epic's Mark Rein told me how amped up he was about this project. That was in 2007.

What of another Gears of War title? A follow-up to the popular franchise seems like a no-brainer, but whether not we'll see it at E3 remains a mystery. Epic hasn't given up on the Gears movie, either -- Capps tells Venture Beat he hopes they'll have "some news to share soon."

Gears 3 or bust. That's all I want from epic.

and how is two games milking it?

God some people are idiots.

OH MY GOD A CHARACTER SKIN IN ANOTHER GAME IS CLEARLY MILKING!

OM MY GOD A SEQUEL IS MILKING!

STFU and realise how this industry works.

People want more of something, they buy more of it.

They don't, the wont.

I expect Gears of War 3 with 4 player co-op, but I would be delighted to hear some news on a Shadow Complex sequel.

Obviously the announcement of another GoW title, followed by the hints of a sequel after that.

Gears 3 is a must for this holiday season. Come on Epic, we are sick of Halo: Reach already!

well they defintely said its supposed to be with People with fly games im ure it is not another Gears title, People can fly developed Painkiller back in 2003 2004, so its either a new beast fps, or if it was gears 3 im sure it would be for next year not this year seeing how Halo:reach and another COD game are coming out. However if it is another gears game coming out this year i will not buy it becasue so far every game developer that has not beta tested their Multiplayer has produced a game with broken multiplayer.

I wonder if Epic will once again shun the PC gamer, who made them into a game developer in the first place.

Probably.

Unreal Engine 4, and Gears 3.
Considering that UDK is now free, they'll want to capitalize on the bigger studio's desire for a more modern toolkit, and GoW3 is the best way to showcase this.

Also, I hate Gears of War.

Not really that bothered about a third gears of war, played the first one loads but didn't play the sequel nearly as much.

Maybe if they add 4 player It might get a little more interesting.

I'd like to see a Shadow Complex sequel. I don't even own a 360, but I want that game more than life itself.

Also, I'm appalled at the blatant lack of Carmine in that header...

Gears 3 or Shadow 2, either way they can't go wrong. They need to do something different with Gears 3 though. The formula is a bit stale but peeps will still buy it. Shadow 2 would be awesome with some co-op Contra style.

If they bake it, I'll eat another slice of Gears of War. No crappy vehicle sections please.
